- <p> In 1964 Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters tooled across the
- country in a refurbished bus. It looks as if they're ready to
- try it again. The author of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest has
- restored the vehicle to its original Day-Glo splendor at his
- Oregon farm and is rounding up another gang for a trip next
- month--in time to publicize his new book, The Further
- Inquiry. After picking up Timothy Leary and Hunter S. Thompson,
- they'll head to Washington's Smithsonian Institution, where the
- bus may become an exhibit. Tom Wolfe, who chronicled the first
- escapade in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, is also invited,
- but Kesey, 54, doubts he'll come: "He gets his suit dirty when
- he's near us."
